Adolescent brain development paper

[TigerBreadAddict]

I really hope mumsnet can work its magic for me 🤞🏻
I went to a talk recently on Child and Adolescent Mental Health (am Child Health Professional but not in MH).
I have written in my notes from the talk “Shooter 2017 summarises adolescent brain development in 2 pages”.
I have done much googling and can’t find the mysterious Shooter or their paper.
Can anyone help??
It would be really useful for my studies.
Thank you!

Did you copy the name Shooter or is that just what it sounded like? There’s a Schriber - clutching at straws here!

There’s a book called The Young Mind by Michael Shooter...

Thanks @Dancer12345 I think I wrote it as the speaker spoke rather than copied it. “Shooter” may not be correct.

Chuter?

@Dancer12345 You're amazing! Got it in one.
The co-author of that book Sue Bailey was the speaker!! Must be that.
I have searched for hours. Should have come straight to mumsnet.
Thank you!!

Happy to help! As soon as I read your question, it started bugging me so I just had to find it!
Looks a really interesting book - I also work with young people with many difficulties such as mental health and traumatic pasts.

It does look good! I might read more than the concise 2 page summary I was looking for

Dan Siegel has done a lot on teenage brain development too. Really interesting.

Sorry to sidetrack, many pp seem to be specialists. Could anyone suggests any ideas how to develop executive functioning and working memory plus confidence in 11 yo. Dd with ASD and normal iq struggles with problem solving and instructions. The Educational Psych states its working memory and executive functioning and concludes that this discounts dd from education and any future. I am very upset and take it with a big pinch of salt. But basically from brain development point of view how to improve that ? Any thoughts appreciated. Pm if you prefer.

Have you looked at The Girl with the Curly Hair? A few books on things like Executive Function for people with ASD - might be a bit basic but somewhere to start?
Btw I think it very unhelpful if an ed psych to dismiss your DD's future education like that? How does that help her or you?

Did the Ed Psych not give any suggestions? Have they said about how to move forward? What about the school SENCO?

I’m by no means a specialist in this area and the Ed Psych will be far more qualified and experienced but just my thoughts:

Some of the autism support websites have info on executing functions and ways and activities which you can do to try to improve it. Harvard University have also produced a pdf with ideas for each age group. Finally, if you google “executive functioning teenage brain”, there are some articles / sites which may be of help.

Hope that’s of some use!

Thanks. I will take a look. Yes, i find it awful that an EP would write that. It is the old attitude to patients with asd /mh treating them like lab rats., with disdain. Not listening to them, but prophecizing about them. But the effect is that SEN provisions are not made to improve her attainment inspite of her being average. Legitimises cost saving. Any success stories on executive functionong development?

Thanks, i think i have seen the Harward thing. It s helpful. But i was cirious about what can be done at school and in terms of physically developing the brain. But i understand thay yoi are not specialists in that.
